Coats for Summer.

White is to be fashionable this summer, and nothing is prettier than a white cloak. White satin evening cloaks faced with black are smart, but not practical as compared with the same style of coat in light-weight cloth. These coats should be cut on some loose model, and can be trimmed or plain. The sailor collar and revera of velvet covered with heavy lace are effective, but they are equally effective of plain velvet, and velvet for the moment seems more In favor than satin as trimming. Heavy embroidery and braiding around the bottom of the coats, with the same trimming repeated on the wide turned-back cuffs and sailor collar, make the garment most elaborate. Sometimes the revere are faced with satin, not velvet, and this obviates the too heavy effect of so much braiding and embroidery, which always looks stiff.—Harper’s Baser.
